  1. Interesting, I used to listen to MCMXC A.D. back in the 90s. I didn’t realize they kept going & did some trancy stuff. The album you suggested is not bad.
  2. I don't really listen to goa or psy a lot these days. When I do it will be something old, and in general searching out new music seems draining to me, like most everything else in life. On the electronic side I listen to acid techno and I'm always trying (and failing) to find something dark and evil in the synth world. Google fails me every time. I tried searching "dark synth music" and got the term "darkwave" which is anything but dark. I stopped by Psynews today because I was trying to find something to listen to at work and wondered if there were any non-psy threads. There's a sound in my head that I want to hear but I can't find any music that sounds like it. That's generally a clue to go make it but I can't seem to do shit these days along those lines. I just gave up on new goa after a while. Every once in a while I'd go through the new releases threads here or see what Suntrip had released and it never changed. I guess I did. I started drifting back to metal, occasionally gabber (for a couple songs at a time), acid techno. I want either dark and evil sounding shit, or Enya. 😂

    Psy

    Make a track that sounds like Slinky Wizard took acid and listened to 6 hours of Brujeria and Enya before making it.

    Deepfakes

    Seems to me like your level of concern should be linked to the likelihood that your image would be used for a deepfake. Are you famous? Is there a particular reason your image would be used over someone else’s?
  5. Hey Penzo, are you vaccinated? I got it in October but it wasn’t terrible, which I attribute to the vaccine. Don’t know what variant it was though; Omicron didn’t catch on in the US until December I think, so either it was Delta or one of the lingering older ones. In my region the Omicron curve was steeply up & steeply down, and it was ‘over’ relatively quickly. Good luck!
  6. I sw IM and Astral Projection together around the same time in Seattle. Even though I like AP’s music much more, IM was more interesting live.
  7. Beat detection is specifically for audio. MIDI files contain tempo info, but of course I’m opening it with the same software I created it with, so no surprise that it just works for me.
  8. I mean the tempo is embedded in the .mid file. When I open that file, the tempo is set automatically to 138. I suppose it’s possible that my software (Digital Performer) embeds that detail in a way other software doesn’t recognize.
  9. Time consuming huh...all right, here you go: http://www.veracohr.com/Psynews_Track_V.mid I had it at 138 BPM, and in my software the tempo is in the MIDI file. Is that not the case for other people? Obviously that's the tempo I thought sounded best for it, but anyone can try it in any tempo to see how it works.
  10. That’s funny because I’ve been listening to a lot of acid techno lately. I got into Spotify & I wanted stuff I don’t have on MP3 so I looked up Chris Liberator (I’ve got a couple records) & now I listen to acid techno playlists in the car a lot. It may not have evolved, but it’s still awesome! Regarding Psynews coming up first in Google searches: not surprising I guess, but don’t forget about “filter bubbles”. Google has their algorithms too, so anyone with a long history of visiting Psynews is likely to see it high in search results.
  11. So THAT is the prerequisite one has to believe in order to consider the rest of the nonsense you mentioned? Time to step away from the internet.
  12. Chi-A.D. Eyes of Gaia. I’m torn between not liking fullon, and the fact that this is good fullon. Then guitars come in and I recoil in horror. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big rock & metal fan, I just don’t like them in psy. Then comes some neo-goa type stuff and it’s better. This album leaves me conflicted.
  13. Did I do what I wanted in life? Hardly. I guess I had some good times in my 20s but I wasn’t as social as most people. I haven’t accomplished anything. Haven’t made any music in a long time. I’ve got various electronic projects in the works, but at this point in life I pretty much just feel like I’m waiting around to die.
  14. I moved this post here from the “Best of the Noughties” thread. That thread is about rankings from a user poll of releases 2000-2019, not for promo of new releases.
  15. I renamed the files with underscores instead of spaces. See if that works. http://www.veracohr.com/Psynews_Track_(Veracohr_Basic).mp3 http://www.veracohr.com/Psynews_Track_(Veracohr_Basic).zip
  16. Here's something I started several years ago and never got anywhere with. I don't know if there's anything worthwhile there but it's the best offering I have right now. The linked ZIP file has a standard MIDI file, a WAV file of the audio below, a WAV file with one of the tracks that isn't in the MIDI file, and a text file. http://www.veracohr.com/Psynews_Track_(Veracohr_Basic).mp3 http://www.veracohr.com/Psynews_Track_(Veracohr_Basic).zip
  17. I’d pitch in a contribution. I haven’t completed any music in a long time & I’ve always had trouble with inspiration, but contributing a part seems just right!
  18. I’m reading Oathbringer, the third book of the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. Pretty interesting world, good story!

    GOOD POP MUSIC

    A while back my girlfriend got obsessed with Daft Punk’s album Rand Access Memories & she came across this other song featuring them: It’s more or less pop, although iTunes lists it under R&B. It’s pretty good. It also led us to another good song by The Weekend:
  20. Well it sparked a discussion about psytrance, so it seems like the appropriate forum to me.
  21. Sorry, but I can't see an option to change it TO the mobile version on my laptop, so I can't figure out how to change it back. I would assume the forum detects the operating system and chooses mobile/desktop for you, so it's pretty weird if its choosing the wrong one. What browser are you using?
  22. Oh man, I remember the gnashing of teeth over triplets! Like they were an affront to human decency.
  23. I removed most of the Hahas but I’m leaving it where it is. The report system is the best way to alert us to something that needs attention.
  24. For fuck's sake guys! Couldn't you limit it to 100 "Haha"s instead of a million?
  25. The Mad Old Ones and Family of Light titles were assigned manually.
